Elementary students at VLN-E (Garibaldi Annex) may enroll in our full correspondence program or as a home-schooling student.

Elementary students at VLN-E (Garibaldi Annex) may enroll in our full correspondence program or as a home-schooling student.  Correspondence assignments are typically submitted by mail. Students maintain contact with teachers and with each other through personal email, telephone, by visiting the VLN-E office and by participating in our monthly field trips and activities. VLN-E offers some optional online courses for students interested in online learning. Online course offerings will be determined by individual VLN-E teachers depending on the level of interest and ability of students.

What type of program is right for you? VLN-E teachers work in close consultation with parents and students to address each individual learner's needs. During registration, a VLN-E teacher will meet with your family to discuss each student's special interests, travel plans, academic skills and other educational needs and abilities. If needed, VLN-E teachers may contact a student's previous school in order to develop a customised program or to facilitate modifications of our standard VLN-E program materials.

Once a Student Learning Plan is determined, learning materials may be made available in the John Oliver High School VLN Book room, where you'll be provided with a package of textbooks, workbooks and other resources that your teacher has assigned for you.
